Danny!, also known as D. Swain (born Daniel Keith Swain, August 18, 1983 in Killeen, Texas), is an American hip-hop performer and record producer from Columbia, South Carolina, a former student of the Savannah College of Art & Design and, most recently, a recording artist for Definitive Jux Records. Garnering praise -- and fielding minor criticism -- for being an atypical rapper relying heavily on sampled tracks, Danny released five self-produced studio albums, three instrumental albums and even a greatest hits compilation prior to his affiliation with Def Jux. He is often seen wearing his trademark oxford shirt and pinstriped necktie, a fashion style he adopted during high school.   Wikipedia
